Going by Barbie it'll play superficial lip service to the most digestible version of a popular political stance (in this case probably some zoomery anticapitalist thing) while justifying and romanticizing the structures that uphold the very thing it's purportedly skewering, serving as an extremely effective piece of corporate marketing PR for the people of Hasbro

It's fine for a movie to take a political stance or have any kind of agenda as long as its not at the expense of good storytelling. The proverbial baby doesn't have to be thrown out with the bath water. They're not mutually exclusive, so to speak.

A Monopoly movie kinda has to be an anti-capitalism movie, right?
Like, what else is it going to be about?
it could just be a fun slapstick comedy of characters vying for superiority
Yeah maybe like a Clue sort of thing
That's the honest, unhypocritical way to go. Just say you're a pro-capitalism movie, or at the very least be apolitical about it. Give us a hero, like Charlie Bucket. His character is why he gets all the money in the end, he earned it.

I hope she parachutes off of Park Place and into the real world. Is Wilford Brimley still alive? He's the only one that could play the Monopoly guy.
